It's Veteran's Day in 34 minutes.I think about many soldiers...who gave up so much,for our country.For us.For me.

And their families. The moms, the wives, the sisters, the daughters.Dads, husbands, brothers, sons.Who wait. And worry.And pray.

I never had to be one of those women.Someone else did that for me.It's a bit overwhelming when I stop to think about it.

About what others gave up.About my own complaints.It's amazing to me the things I find inconvenient.When I think about what others have sacrificed.I am profoundly sad.

Freedom.And what do we do with it?

Look around. See what's on TV, magazines, movies...Or the street, the hallway, the park, the store....Fast, easy.Quick, convenient, satisfying.

When is the last time we had to really work for anything?There are "Fast Cash" buttons on ATMs.Really?I can't be bothered to push a few buttons?I already can't take time to get out of my car and actually talk to another person.
